Chapter 152 The Box Left Behind by the Ancestor of the Ji Family

When Jiang Li went to find Ji Zhi, he was rarely working overtime to review memorials, but was telling stories to Ji Kongkong.

"At that time, the outer demon attacked and Jiuzhou was in danger. I fought against the demon together with your uncle Jiang. At that time, he had just entered the Mahayana stage and was not as invincible as he is now, so he needed a powerful helper like your father."

"With the blessing of the country, my father held the Ancient and Modern Sword in his hand, and used the Way of Time to reverse time and space, causing the demon to lose time and direction and become dizzy. My father held him back for twenty breaths, giving your uncle Jiang the opportunity to take action."

"Your uncle Jiang just acted too early, otherwise father could have dealt with the demon himself."

Since it is a story, of course it contains some fictional and exaggerated elements. Jiang Li expressed his understanding.

After all, I can't say it in front of my daughter. My father is a weakling. He was beaten to death by the demon for twenty breaths. If it weren't for your uncle Jiang's intervention, the emperor of the Great Zhou would have been changed long ago.

"Father was one of the candidates for the Human Emperor back then, but considering that the Great Zhou couldn't do without me, he had to reluctantly give up the Human Emperor position that was within his grasp and let your Uncle Jiang take the position..."

Seeing that Ji Zhi's exaggerations were getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Li decided to stand up.

"Ahem, excuse me."

The guards nearby were startled and immediately became alert. He could appear silently and kill the emperor silently. He was definitely an extremely dangerous monk.

Oh, it’s Jiang Renhuang, then it’s okay.

"...You heard everything?" Ji Zhi was a little embarrassed.

"Do you mean to hold back the extraterritorial demon for twenty breaths, or give up the throne of the emperor?"

"Uncle Jiang!" Ji Kongkong fluttered his two little white legs and ran over to find Jiang Li.

"Kongkong, be good." Jiang Li held Ji Kongkong's armpits, spun her around in the air before putting her down. Ji Kongkong smiled like a hen.

Ji Zhi looked around and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Jiang Li did not expose Ji Zhi in front of the child: "Now the Yin-Yang Heaven Seal, Brahma Tower, Four Seas Dragon Ball, Other Mountain Stone, Great Confucian Calligraphy Copybook, and Ruyi Gourd have all been found. Only your Zhou family's Ancient and Modern Sword is missing. Do you have any clues?"

Ji Zhi thought for a moment before saying, "From the battle that day, the Ancient and Modern Sword should have entered the long river of time and wanted to attack you in the future, but you used the Tianhuang Halberd to cut through time and space, hit it, and knocked it upstream of the long river of time."

Jiang Li remembered that when he was fighting with many immortal weapons, he did feel that something was trying to attack him, but the feeling was very vague. He reacted based on his fighting instinct and hit something. Now it seems that the thing was the Ancient and Modern Sword.

"So the Gujin Sword is still in the long river of time?" This is consistent with what Jiang Li thought. Only if the Gujin Sword is hiding in the long river of time will the system not be able to catch it.

"This is a bit difficult." Jiang Li clicked his tongue. If it were in other worlds, he could try to grab it, but in the long river of time, he was really helpless.

"It is not necessarily the case that the Ancient and Modern Sword may jump out of the long river of time. At other times, such as five thousand years ago or five thousand years later, maybe what we are experiencing now is the history that has been changed by the Ancient and Modern Sword." Ji Zhi said.

For those who are proficient in the way of time, changing the future is not difficult, just like Ji Zhi, his double pupils can see the future and thus avoid danger, and see the results of decisions and thus modify them.

The way of time is extremely mysterious. Those without talent cannot learn it at all. For example, Jiang Li and a group of other high-level cultivators, Jiang Li is not the only one. Bai Hongtu, Changcun Xianweng, Commander Liu and many others also do not know the way of time.

Even those with talent may not necessarily be able to master it. For example, most members of the Ji family only learn superficially, relying on their bloodline advantage to learn a little about the way of time, but they are only the basics. Some people cannot even learn the basics.

However, changing the future is one thing, and being able to move freely in the river of time and travel through time and space is another.

Although Ji Zhi is proficient in the way of time, his cultivation is limited. He is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the effect of the country's fortune cannot be exerted in the long river of time, so he cannot go back to the past or go to the future.

Ji Kongkong may be able to do this. She is closest to her ancestors and her understanding of the way of time is unquestionable. She is also a good candidate for cultivating immortals. It is not impossible for her to merge with them and overcome the tribulation in the future.

Ji Zhi could become a candidate for the Human Emperor, naturally he had an excellent talent in cultivation. However, the old Emperor Zhou suddenly passed away at that time, and Ji Zhi's brothers and sisters fought for power, which led to chaotic political orders and disordered laws. Ji Zhi, who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, had to give up the competition for the Human Emperor and turned around to take over the old Emperor Zhou's position.

Ji Zhi is the most outstanding of that generation in the Zhou family, and with Jiang Li's help, other heirs cannot compete with him.

After Ji Zhi became emperor, he encountered the same dilemma as Yu Yin, and the country's fortunes were dragged down.

His situation is worse than Yu Yin's. Yu Yin became the empress in the fusion stage, and was able to cultivate to the peak of fusion while carrying the destiny of the country. However, Ji Zhi is only in the spirit transformation stage, and his talent is not as good as Yu Yin's, so his cultivation stagnated and he was trapped in the spirit transformation stage.

"I may have clues to finding the Ancient and Modern Sword." Ji Zhi looked strange.

"What?"

Ji Zhi did not answer, but pulled the well-behaved Ji Kongkong and walked towards the treasury.

Passing by the Yangxin Palace where Ji Zhi often stayed, Jiang Li saw a man writing furiously with a wolf-hair brush, reviewing memorials.

Ji Zhi explained: "I have been using this brush to review memorials, so it is very familiar with my views. After it has developed intelligence, I let it do the work for me, and I am responsible for the final review."

“…”

You are such a clever little fellow.

As the Great Zhou dynasty ranked among the top three in terms of power among the nine dynasties, there were naturally countless natural treasures in the national treasury, enough to drive any cultivator crazy. Jiang Li noticed that near the national treasury, there were three cultivators in the fusion stage guarding it openly and secretly. This number was already terrifying. A first-rate sect would have only about this many ancestors in the fusion stage.

This was not the first time that Jiang Li entered the Great Zhou treasury. After he helped Ji Zhi win the throne, Ji Zhi asked him to go to the treasury to choose treasures in order to express his gratitude.

The treasures in the national treasury are dazzling and luxurious, so luxurious that they are illuminated by deep-sea luminous pearls, which shows the quality of the treasures in the treasury.

For example, there are prayer beads made from eighteen star cores, the indestructible black ice dug out from the far north, the elixir that can change one's spiritual roots when taken, the moth queen that parasitizes and absorbs one's cultivation level, and so on. Any one of them would be the finale item of a top auction house.

However, these things are of no use to Jiang Li, as he has a lot of similar good things in his storage ring.

And Ji Zhi didn’t bring Jiang Li to see these things.

Ji Zhi walked to the deepest part of the treasury, took out a small wooden box, and said solemnly: "This is something that only the Zhou emperors of all generations know. The box contains something left by Emperor Shun, who said that future generations must not open it. If anyone wants to go to the long river of time to find the Ancient and Modern Sword in the future, give the wooden box to him."

Emperor Shun, the ancestor of the Zhou family, was the fish that escaped from the long river of time.

Jiang Li didn't look at the wooden box, but looked at Ji Kongkong. This was a secret that only the successive Zhou emperors could know, and the meaning of Ji Zhi bringing Ji Kongkong was self-evident.

"The ancestor must be talking about you."

Jiang Li opened the wooden box and found a small note inside, which read:

I'm having a great time in the long river of time, don't look for me!!! Ji Zhi looked at Jiang Li expectantly: "How is it, do you have any clues?"

Jiang Li silently closed the box and returned it to Ji Zhi.

"Preserve your ancestors' things and don't look at them."
